I can't believe that someone has had the time and patience to sit down and gather all that information on a mere superstition !

It said so in The Da Vinci Code so it must be true.

:oops:

I saw that interpretation on a history channel documentary on the Templars but I suppose Dan Brown is a more important chronicler of the past.

Examining the CCTV recording , wonderful PC Gilbody saw a man board a train on another platform with my bag. This train stopped at two stations only, at one of which my bag was discarded! I collected it from Maidstone West yesterday! All the money gone, obviously, but diaries, notebook, phone, lipstick and cards all there. This is so superb. Fantastic. Today I buy the biggest glossiest thank you card for PC Gilbody!Munch
Angela,
I was so pleased to hear that you got your bag back.....
I thought you would like to see a new trick that the villains are up to :-

A bit of ducking and diving? What does he say when he's up in the dock in front of the judge? "Well, Mallard, my friends were egging me on."
